About Me
PhD Student · Faculty of Information · University of Toronto
I study how digital information systems shape the ways migration and migrants are represented, understood, and made knowable.
Drawing on migration and critical algorithm studies, I examine how computational systems, from search engines to generative AI, select, organize, and transform narratives about migration. Using computational methods alongside theories of framing and representation, my work investigates how emerging forms of algorithmic knowledge reshape the social and political imaginaries of migration.
Co-supervised by Dr. Ebrahim Bagheri and Dr. Syed Ishtiaque Ahmed.
